I've got many more in mind I could recommend, but I wouldn't wanna ping too many people at once, haha.

HUZZAH IM MOLTEN, YOUR PERSON HELPING YOU TODAY

and well, i mean if you want my piece of mind
art is a cultivated skill and all those other words, like, it takes time to polish it
draw constantly, try and experiment with colors, poses, styles, etc,
eventually you'll find something you like and stuff

that and ofc like, if you start drawing and stuff when youre older i know a lot of people like, feel like, they should be better already and stuff
again, it's a cultivated skill, take your time, try and finish your drawings, make what you like,
take inspiration from people if you need it on certain things like eyes or more misc stufff

again, take your time, learn the basics first, dont rush, eventually everything will come together, as long as you put enough will into it

hope this helps C:

My advice: STOP. BEING. HARD. ON. YOURSELF.



Seriously.



Just keep practicing, with basic shapes first if you need to. Have patience with yourself. Learning new skills takes time. No one learns to read and write overnight, or even in a week or so; drawing is the same, if not more difficult.



You could also look into things to do to increase hand eye coordination, try different drawing techniques (maybe super quick pencil sketches, then go over it with pen), or buy some kids coloring books and tracing paper and practice tracing over the linework. Also watch how-to tutorials on youtube and try to follow along with them.



But mostly.. patience, don't give up, don't let yourself get discouraged, and try to keep a log sketchbook with dates so that later on (I mean months down the road, most likely), you can look back and encourage yourself with the progress, even if it's not a lot, it'll be something and should help motivate you to keep going and keep getting better. :)

art takes a really long time to master, but I seriously recommend sticking to it
Its taken my entire life to get to the point I'm at now and I'm far from done lol

As for world building, if you want to draw a representation of what the world looks like, definitely start simple at first, not every tree needs to be super detailed to make a good forest
Look at pictures of real places or even go around drawing places around you, even if you don't improve right away, it helps you to understand how trees and buildings work, don't spend a ton of time trying to get it just right either, it can focus you less on creativity and more on replication if you go for perfection

hope that helps!

Practise guy
Everytime you need practise, try to find some tutorials, try to train your hands(don't hurry, do it for calm)

Even Davinci would do it
No one is perfect

If you are a writer, how about you describe your worlds so precisely with words that everyone can imagine what they look like?
Then you wouldn't need to draw them. You only need to imagine them yourself and describe what you imagine :)

I thought of Tolkien when I say this, he described literally every tree and stone that lies around in Middle Earth and where they lie. The only drawing he gives you is a map of the world to help you not get completely lost xD

Try tracing art that already exists. Take different pieces you like and combine them into something new. After time, try to incorporate a few of your own ideas into them.

Start with something simple, and keep tackling the art you are most interested in. Try to look for one thing that is different between two artists works, and trace that detail a few times in a few drawing.

Heyo! Thanks for tagging me moon :D Okay, so I've been drawing for like, 4-5 years now I think? This is the first self-portrait that I did that I have access to, and this is my latest.
  Now a lot of drawing is just practice, but as someone who was told that for years, I know that's not really what you want to hear. I learned a lot from YouTube videos. Personally, I watched a lot of LavenderTowne and Xabio Arts, but I've also heard really good things about Sycra. The key with these videos is to not just watch them, but do what they're doing, or at least try to, alongside the video. Fair warning, Xabio is not always clean, but he's still not terrible. LavenderTowne is clean, not sure about the content of Sycra.
  Also, try to break things you see down into really simple shapes. There's a lot of simple geometry in everything you see, and the more you look at things in real life and like, flatten them out in your brain and simplify them down to their most basic parts, the better you'll get at drawing. At some point in being an artist, some little switch flips in your head and it gets a lot easier to see certain shapes and stuff in different objects and turn them 2D.

Hopefully that made some semblance of sense xD

just keep practicing and make your own style and use reference photo it will help and believe in yourself

You could start with copying drawing online! tutorials are usually of not much help, but to some people they can definitely come out as helpful. watching other people draw and trying to copy their techniques can also help! practice is very important, and skill in drawing definitely doesn't come out of nowhere. good luck! :D
